Council Sets Meetings on Greenbelt Ordinance
Ojai City Council members voted unanimously this week to schedule public meetings on a proposed greenbelt ordinance that would further protect farmland and open space surrounding the Ojai Valley.
Under the plan, Ojai would not annex farmland or open space outside city limits. In turn, Ventura County officials are expected to pass a complementary ordinance agreeing not to build in the greenbelt area.
As proposed, the area would cover farmland and open space from Lake Casitas east to the Dennison Grade and from Los Padres National Forest south to the Sulphur Mountain ridgeline.
